** Hot Air Skyway, in fact, has four. The first is the obvious branching to the right of the normal track when you jump off the first ramp. The second (jumping the barrier midway through the level) is relatively simple. The third is almost Rainbow Road-esque, involving turning around and jumping to a lower layer. The fourth is just about impossible to non-competitive gamers, and involves jumping from the last ramp straight to the finish line.

* [[GoKartingWithBowser Go Karting With Neo Cortex]]: [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] by way of EnemyMine. There are actually more bad guys than good guys as playable characters! You start with 4 bad guys and 4 good guys, then the unlockables are mostly the bosses in the Adventure Mode. In total, there are five good guys (the four Good defaults and one unlockable) and ten bad guys (the four Bad defaults plus six unlockables).

** A subtle one for the main bosses: aside from the Purple Gem cup - where they run off their normal stats - ''all'' of the bosses will gain a speed boost if behind you no matter which racer you choose. Thus Komodo Joe and Pinstripe, who have speeds equal to Crash or Coco, will also be able to easily catch up to Tiny and Dingodile. Part of the challenge is having to be neck and neck with them the whole way, even if you chose a racer whose speeds should ideally blow them out of the water.

** In the Adventure mode, you must get all the trophies and beat all the bosses to race Oxide a first time, then [[DoubleUnlock get all the CTR tokens and win a relic on every track (sapphire is fine)]], then beat Oxide again for 100% and the Scrapbook.

* DoubleUnlock: To get to race Oxide for a second time and beat the game, all you have to do is beat the time trials on every course. Easy, right? Well, that includes a track that's only unlockable if you collect all five gems. How do you get those? Beat a cup race, four races in a row for one gem. How do you unlock those? Collect 4 tokens of the cup's respective color by beating races while collecting all 3 letters around the course or, for the purple tokens, by going into the arena levels and collecting allall the, crystals before time runs out.

* OneHundredPercentCompletion: You have to complete all the tracks, get all the CTR tokens, all of the relics (including platinum!) and defeat all of Oxide's ghosts in time trial. Beating all of Oxide's ghosts unlocks the scrapbook for the main menu that is otherwise only seen when you complete Adventure mode (or enter a code)

* SacrificialPlanet: It's revealed that [[BigBad Nitros Oxide]] is the cause of the barren wasteland on [[OnceGreenMars Mars]]: the inhabitants on the planet failed to defeat him at racing and thus got decimated. He threatens to do the same on Earth (by making the planet a parking lot and enslaving all its inhabitants) if they fail to defeat him at racing, too - setting up the story.

* CheatCode: There are codes that unlock all of the unlockable racers (including N. Tropy), gives unlimited Wumpa Fruit, automatic and unlimited turbo, automatic weapon gain (without breaking crates), unlocking the scrapbook (you need to 100% the Adventure mode normally), etc. Those that modify the gameplay can't be used in Adventure mode, however.
